Obama Forgets to Salute - Awkwardly Makes It Up

President Barack Obama forgot protocol while boarding Marine One en route to Annapolis, Maryland. Obama did not salute the Marine standing at the bottom of the helicopter while boarding. Upon realizing the faux pas, the president jogged back down to shake hands with the Marine and spoke privately with him before entering the helicopter again.

It’s not the first time Obama’s Marine salutation made news. In February 2009, Obama shook hands with the Marine outside of Marine One, when normally presidents just salute and board the helicopter.
